NOTE

• Full-size display may not be possible with some input signals. Refer

to the resolutions above.

• Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to SXGA (1280x1024), signals will be converted to the projector’s panel resolution before being displayed. The best display performance is achieved when the resolutions of the input signal and projector panel are identical.

• For some input types when the screen resolution is changed on a computer, the automatic adjustment function may take a long time or may not complete. If this happens, you may not be able to see the “Yes/No” check box to conﬁrm the resolution change in Windows. The screen resolution will then be reset to the previous resolution. It is recommended to use a CRT or LCD monitor to change the resolution if this occurs.

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE

HIGH TEMPERATURE

HIGH PRESSURE

►The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to ﬂy into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.

►About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance with environmental laws. For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org. (in the US) For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada). For more information, call your dealer.

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.

cord, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.

• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.

• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above. This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken.

• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.

• Use only the lamp of the speciﬁed type.

•

If the lamp breaks soon after the ﬁrst time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your local dealer or a service representative.

•

Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst

during use.

•

Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not to light up or to burst. When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone is poor, please replace the lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
